Sure thing. I had the problem you are describing as well. Can't remember what I did to fix it though.

just avoid 11,22,33 in the (nn) section of

"UnitParts(nn)(subclass).upc"

if memory serves me right, I could be more precise if I was looking at a SH4 install.

Yes, I know. I found out myself some time ago and therefore left these out. the proplem is not, that the connings disappear in campaign and single missions.i am currently running 20 new subs in one mod. i`ve solved this. it`s that not all of the boats will show up in one single mission in order to make a screenshot like ETRSS did.

I remember what I did to fix it now. You need to go into the Roster file for each boat and change the DisplayName= line. Most where still set to the default for the S Class. I also changed the UnitInterval date to 1920 in the UPC file for each boat as that was the next hurdle I had to overcome.

I`ll try changing the Unitinterval to 1920, the roster files are all set to the specific Boat. I guess the reason could be another one. Example I can put together the Kilo, the Foxtrot and the Whiskey and place the Porpoise as american sub to start from ( what maybe is not necessary). this works ingame. when I place the Zulu also into the file , the game crashes at the time the "Please Wait" screen when loading the mission should appear. I also found this: Whiskey and Zulu are based on the SH3 Type XXI 3D model but share the Dat/Sim/Val/Zon/Dsd for Hull and Sail of the Type 18 Uboat.that also means that the nodes etc. inside the dat are both sharing the same designation and ID. so when I singularily load the ZULU Mod , the type XVIII will still work ingame as both subs have different classnames and custom basic files, but the dat file of it will be overwritten partially by the Zulu`s, which seems to matter when you add nodes to the specific file. Finally, the Type 18 comes up with th 3rd propeller and the stern tube doors of the Zulu, and I can watch the Zulu in the Museum, but attempting to watch the Type 18 will cause a game crash. same thing when loading the Charlie, which is based on the Balao-> Balao will have the dummy rocket launcher Doors. I will change the ID´s and adjust the internal nodenames and see what happens.

No, I did not. However I was right.It solved the problem. lets see what you wrote in your tutorial...

LOL!!!! How Stupid! I always was so concerned about the Model and design and the extra stuff and a bunch of nuclear weapons to blow the Japs to the Mars I did totally forget about that basic ID thing! THANKS KELTOS (and Peabody)
